I got a new alarm clock that lets you plug in your iPod and will wake you to the music from your player. (if you don’t have your iPod docked then it weakly beeps at you)
The Finale from “Chorus Line” is a good way to wake up in the morning. The Dropkick Murphys The Rocky Road to Dublin also works. Loreena McKennett– not so much.
I won the Gleneagle Men’s Club Match Play Championship this week.
I also shot my best round ever – an 88. I think my handicap is going down.
before I forget…. Every rainbow has two ends…except Mobius Rainbows and Sundogs
Normally I would expect the rainbow to be after the storm, but this is Colorado
We had some weather floating around today
I read Paul Krugman’s column on our future prosperity, and then found that Avedon had also read and commented on it along with some links to other commentors. One of the best I saw was about cheap-labor conservatives.
Work cheap or starve, a motto to live by.
These cheap-labor conservatives should read the mission statement for the United States sometime. It’s right there in the first paragraph of the Constitution – after “We the People of the United States, in Order to”.
- form a more perfect Union,
- establish Justice,
- insure domestic Tranquility,
- provide for the common defence,
- promote the general Welfare, and
- secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity
and ends “do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
About the only mission they seem to care for is to provide for the common defence, because there is money to be made there.
I hadn’t realized how insidious these trackers have become. This WSJ article discusses how cookies have grown since their Netscape days. There is also a link to a tool that tells you who has what installed on a domain site, about half way down the article.
Is there advertising on web pages? I should probably pay more attention and be less oblivious.
Genius is seeing patterns where no one has seen them before.
Insanity is seeing patterns where none exist.
Creativity is illuminating or illustrating patterns.
